POV: You have on the cutest outfit for date night and you step into the restaurant, only to feel the slight tingly pain in your feet that you know will only get worse as the night goes on. It's truly the worst feeling; knowing that you've worn your most adorable heels for approximately 5 minutes and the pain will just progressively get worse until you're limping back to your car at the end of the night. But I'm here to tell you: the perfect comfortable heel does exist, and we have a list of them for you!
It really is possible for heels to be cute, on trend, and comfortable! You just need the right arch support, heel height, and material. So without further ado, we have the list of shoes that are so comfortable you can wear them all day. They'll have people thinking you're Carrie Bradshaw in no time!
Schutz Kate Heel
First things first when it comes to comfortable heels: you're going to want to make sure you're looking at heel height and width. The thicker the heel, the more comfortable it will be because it offer more support. This pair from Schutz is great because combine the thicker heel and a more cushioned arch. I own multiple pairs of heels from Schutz, and they're all extremely comfortable!
Dolce Vita Baylor Kitten Heels
If you like the look of a daintier heel, then I'd recommend a kitten heel. If the heel is shorter then it is sure to be more comfortable! I own these from Dolce Vita in nude as well, and they're a serious staple that goes with everything! I also thought they were extremely comfortable considering I went to dinner, and walking around town after.
Maeve Bow Kitten Heels
Super cute meets super comfortable! These are a vintage-inspired pair of kitten heels that will get you so many compliments for how fun they are. And what better way to respond than, "And they're SO comfortable too!!!" Mission accomplished.
Larroude Flora Heels
Larroude is another brand that I adore! Fun fact: I wore these exact heels to a wedding for 8 hours — I repeat: 8 hours! — and they didn't leave any blisters or uncomfortable pain by the end of the night. It also helps that they're extremely cute and can go with any outfit! I genuinely can vouch that these are worth the price!
Maeve Heeled Pump Pink
I'm obsessed with these French-inspired pumps, and personally have them in multiple colors! It's looking like I might need to add this pink to my cart as well, though! The short heel is ideal for long days where you need to dress up a bit!
Naturalizer Black Heels
If you're looking for serious relief on your feet, look no further than to Naturalizer. They specialize in creating cute shoes that are specifically made for comfort. They offer a cushioned footbed with Contour+ technology that keeps your feet cushioned and comfortable all night!
Bibi Lou Gingham Heels
These scream Wizard of Oz to me in the absolute best way! These kitten heels are ideal for flouncy spring days, like darting off to brunch or wandering around the city with your BFFs. Style these with a more simple outfit for a hint of personality!
Dolce Vita Mezzo Pearl Heels
Ummm comfortable, short heels with pearls on them?! Say no more! I'm adding these to my cart immediately for any and all summer outfits! Because while comfort is key, so is having fun with your shoe choice!
Sam Edelman Kia Strappy Metallic Heels
Remember what I said about thicker heels being more wearable? Well, not only are they more comfy, but you can also get them in fresh, fun colors like this pair from Sam Edelman! That way you can wear them all night without worrying about blisters, and they look so good in this metallic silver!
BCBG Kittie Slingback
Once again, we have a kitten heel, because they really are the ultimate key to comfort! Almost all of my heels are kitten heels now because they're so much more comfortable and add their own little flair to each outfit!
